How To Sneak In 60 Minutes Of Exercise Without Going To The Gym

To keep the weight off, studies are showing you need as much as 60 minutes of exercise a day.  If that sounds impossible, remember this, you don't have to spend an hour at the gym to get the exercise you need.  You can sneak in physical activity a few minutes at a time.  Here's how:

If you work at an office, or are going to the store, park farther away from the entrance.  
The extra walking can give you 5 minutes of exercise.

Take the stairs instead of the elevator.  

This can add 10 minutes more.

During your lunch break, take a 15 min. walk.  Ask a coworker to join you.
At home, squeeze in 15 min. of heavy cleaning,

Or gardening,












Or playing with the kids.











After dinner, take your dog for a 15 min. walk.












While watching TV, do 5 min. of situps during commercials.





All of this gets you to the 60 minute goal-without going to the gym.

Quick Workouts said...

Walking - I briskly walk 1 to 2 miles a day and I lost 30 lbs in about 4 months. Eating better was also a major factor.

Gardening - I have to laugh at that because the weather was nice this weekend where I live (mid 70's) and I was pulling a few weeds and planting flowers. On Sunday I could barely walk. So yes, gardening is a great workout.

I also found a workout that uses 10 exercises at only 5 seconds each. Says it's the World's Fastest Workout. That sure beats 60 minutes. lol

Have a great day.
